The Sindarin term Haudh-en-Arwen[1] can roughly be translated as "Ladybarrow". The actual translation would be "Mound of the Noble Maiden". The element Arwen had no direct connection with Arwen Evenstar, who lived millennia after Haleth's time, but it does give an insight into the origin of her name. Sindarinarwen means literally "high maiden", and is translated here as the "lady" in 'Ladybarrow'.
